FEBRUARY 12, 2018 LEADERSHIP TEAM UPDATE

Our meeting began with a devotion based on Psalm 128. Here, we are reminded that for Jesus’ sake, the Lord blesses us not just with eternal life but also with many other blessings, especially in our families. When used to the Lord’s glory, all of these blessings contribute to spread the Word of God.

Victory Stories

Pastor Ben and everything that he has meant for VOTL. We wish him the best on his next journey. As Pastor Ben moves on, we are excited for the future of Victory of the Lamb.

Open forum was well attended and very positive. Leadership Team created a very positive vision for the future of VOTL

Stewardship

Jim Vogel gave a brief summary that our finances are on track. Any additional contributions to the Building Fund will be going to such things as the final layer of blacktop for the parking lot.

Properties

We are looking into the possible purchase of a floor buffer for the church. The wear and tear from the winter months is taking its toll on the finish of the floor.

Parsonage improvements: Once Pastor Ben and the family are moved out, we will be evaluating any updates that need to be addressed. This may range from paint, carpeting, appliances, and possible kitchen upgrades. More details to follow. We are also looking into a security system while the parsonage is empty.

Other Items

The new Bible 101 is in progress. It is video and web based. This follows our idea of meeting people where they are.

There were conversations of more possible Men’s Ministry opportunities, as well as a Prayer Team at VOTL. More details to follow.

Call Meeting took place on February 22. Pastor Jon Kehl was called to be the Associate Pastor at VOTL. Please keep him in your prayers!

Next Leadership Team meeting will be March 12th.
